Orderly Boys.

The simple matter OF boys being
trained to be orderly may seem Of
very slight moment in determining
the happiness OF his future home, but
at least every housewife with a care
less husband will appreciate the i'm
portance in practical living. A lad ac-
customed to have his sisters or the
servants pick up whatever he chooses
to leave about, will come some day to
be a constant vexation to the tidy soul
of his spouse, when he might almost
as easily be taught to aid rather than
destroy the ncatness and order OF his
home. The mother who allows her
son always to consider his own in
terests, and never to feel that the COM
forts and wishes OF those about him
are his affair, is preparing a husband
who will some day render miserable,
through sheer thoughtlessness, any
sensitive woman who links her destiny
with his.-Ex.

Society In wyoming.

A Boston woman wrote to the
Mayor of new town in Wyoming
asking for information regarding the
state of society in his town, as she
contemplated going there for the bene-
fit of the health of her children. On
receiving his reply she concluded to
remain in Boston while longer. The
Mayor wrote:
GAS for society, it is bang up. This
is nifty morrel town, considering
that there's 60 saloons to popula-
ton of zoos. But every saloon has a
sine up sayin': "All fitin' must be
done outside. No KILN Allowed in
this Room" Only two men has been
killed since Monday, and tomorrow
will be Wednesday. Cheating at gamb-
ling is punished lynchin,' and every
effort is being made to put the town
on a good morrel baysis. Ladies is
universally respected, and I sell them
beer at half price when they buy at
my place. There is a grand sacred
concert and free dance every Sunday
night, and the preacher don't have ter
stay ter home ON account OF the big
rush at his bowling alley. Don't
hezzytate about comm here on ac-
count of sowciety. This is a morrel

Mrs. T. B. Newman was buried at
Salem, and at 8 o'clock this evening
her daughter, Miss E. G. Newman
was married to II. S. Butterlield, a

THE wAsHINaToN CRAZE.
Red Headed Girls and White
Horses.

The red headed girls and white
horse craze has hit Washington hard,
and it is getting so red:headed girls
don't dare to venture upon the streets
since it has got out that whenever you
see red-headed girl you will see
white horse. AS red-headed
woman walks along the street she
becomes aware OF the excitement she
is creating. Every man who sees her
stops short and begins to look up and
down for white horse. Men who
see her pass the window rush to the
door to look for white horse. If she
goes into store she can not but OBJ
serve that the clerks slip to the win
dow or door looking for White horse,
and she sees men, as she passes along
the promenade, signaling each other
and shouting back and forth.
One of the prettiest young ladies in
Washington, whose crown of sunset
hair has been her pride, went home
crying the other afternoon and de-
clared she never, never would 60 on
the street again till every idiot of a
man was dead, who, just as soon as
they saw her, began looking for a
white horse.
A young department clerk met a
red-haired lady clerk in the same
division and Immediately ran to the
window. "What are you looking
for?" she asked.
"For white horse" he replied.
When Isee a red-haired girl I al
ways look for white horse, and there
he is"
Indeed" said the young lady
sweetly. "And whenever / see a
white horse always look for fool"
Congressman Beriah Wilkins, of
Ohio, got himself heavily stuck :" for
25-cent cigars on what he thought was
going to be a smart trick. He
wagered box of "Periectos cigars
with gentleman where he could take
him on street where he could see
six heads of red hair, and that there
would not be six white horses in
sight. The bet was taken, and Beriah
marched his friend in front of a store
for the sale of human hair, and in the
window were six lay heads adorned
with red wigs.
"There," said brother Wilkins,
"I'll take the cigars"
The other gentleman began to wilt,
when at that moment funeral pro-
cession tured into Fourteenth street
from New York Avenue, and among
the horses were six white ones."

ing offer Of $25 for the first proven
case of seeing ared-headed girl and not
seeing white horse.-From Wash

The solemn Funeral Pace.

,Elko Independent: A begeaved
widow, who took the remains OF her
husband by the Central Pacific rail-
road to Ogden for interment, wrote
to her friends that she was deeply
touched by the respect shown to the
late lamented by the railroad COM
pany running the train conveying his
revered remains at most solemn
funeral pace. Poor woman! 1t is to
be hoped no one will deprive her of
the consolation she thus derived from
blissful ignorance of the fact that this
" solemn funeral pace" is the regular
every day, all the year round rate at
which this company totes its passen-
gers, dead or alive.

A HUSBANDS TROUBLES,
How a Married woman Goes to
Sleep.


Sleep.
There is an article going the rounds
entitled "How the girls go to sleep"
The manner in which they 60 to sleep,
according to the article, can't hold
candle to the way a married woman
goes to sleep.
Instead of thinking what she should
have attended to before going to bed,
she thinks OF it afterwards. While
she is revolving these matters in her
mind, and while snugly tucked up in
bed, the old man is scratching his
legs in front Of the fire, and wonder
ing how he will pay the next months
rent. Suddenly she exclaims:
"James, did you lock the back
door?"
Which door," says James.
"The cellar door," says she.
"No," says James.
"Well, you had better 60 down and
lock it, for heard some one in the
back yard last night"
Accordingly, James paddles down
the stairs and locks the door. About
the time James returns, and is going
to bed, she remarks:
"Did you shut the stair door,"
"No," said James.
"Well, if it is not shut, the cat will
get up into the chamber"
"Let her come up, then," says
James, illnaturedly.
i" My goodness, no!' returns his
wife, "she'd suck the baby's breath"
Then James paddles down stairs
again and steps on tack, and closes
the stair door, and curses the cat, and
returns to the bedroom. Just as he
begins to climb into his couch, his wife
observes:
81 forgot to bring up some water.
tim"
And SO James, with muttered
curse, goes down into the dark kitchen,
and falls over chair, and rasps all the
tinware off the wall, in search of the
"big" tin, and then jerks the stair
door open and howls:
"Where in the duce are the
matches?" She gives him minute
directions where to find the matches,
and adds that she'd rather 60 and get
the water herself than have the whole
neighborhood raised about it. After
which James finds the matches, pro-
cures the water, and comes upstairs
and plunges into bed.
Presently his wife says:
"James, let's have an understand
ing about money matters. Now, next
week, I've got TO pay -"
81 don't know what you'll have to
pay, and don't care," shouts James, as
he lurches around and jams his face
against the wall, call l want is sleep"
"That's all very we'll for you," snaps
his wife, as she pulls the cover vi
ciously; "you never think of the
worry and trouble have. And there
is Araminta, who l believe is taking
the measles"
Let her take 'em," says James.
Hereupon, she begins to cry softly,
but about the time James is falling
into gentle doze, she punches him in
the ribs with her elbow, and says:
"Did you hear that scandal about
Mrs. Jones?"
"Where ?"says James, sleepily.
"Why, Mrs. Jones'"
"Where ?" inquiries James.
81 declare" says his wife, "you are
getting more stupid every day. You
know Mrs. Jones that lives at No 81?
Well, day before yesterday, Susan
Smith told Mrs. Thompson that Sam
Barker had said that Mrs. Jones
had"
Here she pauses and listens. James
is snoring in profound slumber. With
a snort of rage, she pulls all the cover
off him, wraps up in them, and lies
awake until 2 A. NJ, thinking how
badly used she is. And that is the
way the married woman goes to sleep.

THE BOSTON GIRL.

She can warp a grand pianner"
In most artistic manner,

Can converse in French or Russian,
In Irish, Dutch or Prussian,
And knows the early history of Bombay.

Metaphysics and biology.
Her mathematics make her look intense"
She talks Of protoplasms
Until You have the spasms-
She converses on the " whichness Of the hence ;
She's mandolin musician,
They say she is Titan,
She can also hammer brass and antique gold.
She wears pair of glasses,
Add looks down upon the masses
With fierce contempt and manners very cold.

Scars aloit like the bold vulture
And views the world from elevated scenes.

The fact that she's from Boston,
The home of modern "culchaw and baked

What She Needs.

Salt Lake Tribune: Mrs. Clara
Belle Mcdonald, who shot at her
father-in-law, Mcdonald, in the Bald
win Hotel, has been a vicious crank
from girlhood. She is one of the kind
that never ought to have been born a
woman. A man with her disposition
gets his eyes blacked and his nose
Hset up" about once a week fora year
or two, and the experience teaches
him to be decent. Had she killed
Mcdonald she would have got off on the
plea of insanity. She is a " little off, "
but her insanity is Of the kind that
when it appears in a man thorough
licking will cure quicker than any de-
vice Of the asylums. She ought to be
put in cabin and made to do her own
cooking and washing for about a
month. BY that time she would be a
comparatively decent woman.
